Barnsley is a shithole.

Oh yeah, obviously. The Scottish Border Region isn't too shabby either...

Twats everywhere
My first taste of t'up North was looking out the window of the train as we pulled into Liverpool for the F.A Cup game in 1991.
I couldn't tell if we were passing a housing estate on the way in to the station or the city dump.

What about The Gower Peninsula & Snowdonia? They aren't exactly shit-holes to be fair.

Aren't all the places you mentioned lacking the one thing that would make them shitholes?
A mass of Northerners.

And Shropshire has some outstanding countryside too (as does Warwickshire).

I live in rural Leicestershire and it's beautiful here. I think i live in the East Midlands and that anywhere north of here is ooop north.

Kerching!
ps Perhaps Mr Candles could get a Mod to rephrase the thread title? You know, something like: The North: it's ruined by f***ing Northerners.
I believe an NSC thread on the matter a while back officially defined the Old Shoreham Road as the border between the North and the South.

Plenty of opportunity this season to reacquaint ourselves with the geography of the grim north given the away fixtures at Hull, Barnsley, Sheffield, Huddersfield, Blackpool, Bolton, Blackburn, Leicester, Derby, Birmingham, Nottingham etc.
Palace, Millwall, Charlton plus even Watford, Ipswich and Peterborough will seem like local derbies. The Gus bus is going to rack up some miles this season.

You could replace The North with The South in that case (including the rest of your postulation) & it could be just as applicable.
